​Inspired by what Michael Bohmeyer did in Germany, two more crowd-funded community initiatives have come up. One in The Netherlands and one in the US (San Francisco). Here is a summary by Scott Santens. What is really interesting about the author is that he had crowd-funded his own basic income over a period of two years to write about Basic Income!!!

Let us test the Sincerity of the Modi Govt. first.We need 60-70 lac individuals,trusts,social organisations, businessmen and philanthropists who can spare Rs.72000 to 1,50,000 per year for the next 2-3 years to help India eliminate/abolish poverty in just one year. India has 6 crore poorest families that need Unconditional Basic Income of Rs.1000/- p.m.I have sent an email to Amit Shah Ji,Rajnath Singh Ji and many Central Ministers & BJP leaders to rearrange and provide just Rs.39000/- Crore for July 17 to March 18 out of the current Budget allocations of Rs.2,65,000Cr for poverty alleviation,MNREGA,Welfare of SCs,STs,marginal and small farmers,women and children welfare,rural development,mid day meal scheme,welfare of minorities and other 60 -70 welfare schemes for rural and urban poor and make a survey about the after effects of this DBT of Rs.1000/-pm and then Provide Rs.72000Cr in 2018-19 budget for Unconditional Basic Income to the poorest families by DBT using JAM (Jandhan a/c-Adhaar card-Mobile phone) with BHIM app
Every human being specially the poorest have the right to food,medicare and healthcare, not to die untimely death due to poverty, besides dignity of LIFE.Pro poor Modi Govt. has the Responsibility,credibility, sensibility and required willpower also. Let us wait just for 2-3 months and thereafter appeal to fellow 1 (One) Crore Indians living in India and abroad and involve them.It can not be a very big Target for New India, (MODI) as per the new slogan coined by BJP & Modi Govt. during their Three Years of Modi Govt.
